Jelly Roll’s overtly religious acceptance speech at the 2026 Grammys has left liberals seething as they flocked to social media to accuse the star of ‘religious psychosis.’
The 41-year-old country crooner took to the stage after winning the award for Best Contemporary Country Album at Sunday night’s ceremony held in Los Angeles.
His 2024 album Beautifully Broken beat out the likes of Miranda Lambert, Tyler Childers, Eric Church and Kelsea Ballerini for the top country prize.
Jelly Roll spent much of his emotional speech talking about Jesus and how Christianity, like music, ‘changed [his] life.’
He added to the faith-fueled moment by holding up a small bible for the crowd to see.
‘I believe that music had the power to change my life, and God had the power to change my life,’ he told the crowd of A-listers with his shiny gold Grammy in hand.
‘I want to tell y’all right now: Jesus is for everybody, Jesus is not owned by one political party. Jesus is not owned by no … label. Jesus is Jesus.’

‘I would have never changed my life without you,’ Jelly Roll told Bunnie Xo, who was seated in the audience.
‘I would’ve ended up dead or in jail. I would’ve killed myself if it weren’t for you and Jesus.’
He continued: ‘There was a time in my life that I was broken. That’s why I wrote this album. I didn’t think I had a chance.
‘There was days that I thought the darkest things.’
Along with his country win, Jelly Roll also took home the Grammy for Best Contemporary Christian Music Performance/Song for his collaboration with fellow country star Shaboozey titled Amen.
